RSS is Perfectly Fine. In fact, it is HARD to use.

RSS is FINE. It is NOT. OP. It is a 4* hard to use bomb. It is only useful in FSC. And it takes ages to kill anything. I am a good RSS bomber and I can say this from personal experience.

No subject line spam here, move along

You could've just said that in the other thread to avoid adding to the clutter.

It's useful against five of the six families, and in my experience most places other than RJP.

Also, try going more aggressive. It really shouldn't take "ages" if you're aggroing them into taking three or more shards at once.

In Fact, There IS Spam To Be Subjected Here.

Now why did youi make another thread? That was pointless, unless you wanted attention or something like that.

Go post in the other and graveyard this immediately to avoid wasting space bumping up this particular not-topic, mkay? Not trying to sound mean, but you should. Continue discussion on there.

What?

What?

"And it takes ages to kill anything"
1 bomb kills anything but slimes(burning oilers are a pain) and some gremlins. 2-3 for trojans and lumbers on a 3-man party.

I love RSS, but sounds like you suck with them, or are using the wrong gear with it.

Hm

You must be very, very good at positioning them, Juances. I use it with Mad Bomber sometimes, and still can't one hit most enemies, except FSC enemies, like people say.

It takes skill to use it. If you are an expert with that like some people are with a Polaris to set enemies correctly and whatnot, fine. But it is a "hard bomb" to use by non-Bombers.

Sort of like the people saying there is no challenge in the game but avoid Fiend strata.

I find RSS to be very effective. However, keep in mind I'm Iron Man, and as such, I might be a little biased towards explosives. (I have missiles in my shoulder, after all.)

Anyway, the trick to RSS is setting them where enemies will hit at least 2 or 3. If you learn to time a Slag Walker's swipe, you can easily have them walk right on top of it, getting hit with 8 shards for about this much damage.

Also, if you have two enemies, you can quickly lay an RSS between both of them just right, and the explosions from each of the shards will hit both of them for a possibility of one of these.

Of course, you can't always get close. Howlitzers, for example, are usually just too dangerous to approach. If you're purely bombing, you can easily use RSS to snipe them until they go like this.

Keep in mind, you can use other weapons in tandem with RSS, mainly Freezing Vaporizer and its upgrades. I know full well what havoc a freezing problem can have in an otherwise perfect plan of attack- ever watch the first Iron Man? Shivermist series bombs are great for Trojans. Freeze them, set the RSS next to them, and talk like this guy.
